The NE506B is a Neutral Density (ND) Filter, measuring 0.5 inches in diameter, manufactured by Thorlabs. This filter is designed to reduce the intensity of incident light without altering its color composition, making it an essential tool in various optical applications.
The filter is made from N-BK7 Schott, a high-quality borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. It boasts a diameter of 12.7 millimeters and a thickness of 1.1 millimeters, ensuring durability and precision.
The NE506B features a front and back coating of tho ne06a, an advanced absorptive coating that provides an optical density of 0.6 at a wavelength of 633 nanometers. This specific optical density reduces the light intensity by a factor of 2.5, offering versatility in managing light levels.
The filter's shape is designed in a Thin Lens style, which is beneficial in maintaining the optical path and minimizing distortions. The filter's availability is indicated by its weblink status, which shows it to be in stock, ensuring prompt delivery for your optical needs.
